Yeah, because android doesn't use glibc, dbus, systemd, X11 and gtk/qt, lets look forward to the desktop Linux User Interface shoehorned into a touch-screen tablet.

This is just silly. Nothing precludes X11, Qt, glibc from being used on tablets; and Plasma Active is a redesigned-from-the-groud, touch-native interface. No shoehorning required, thank you.

Plasma Active is specifically designed as a mobile interface. Did you even see it?
